I keep saying it but it's never gets old. *Brilliant... article..... my bro.... Lol!* I couldn't agree more on the issue of the mass appeal of people over self-medicating for psychological conditions and the like. The easy grab for a pill and that quick fix has turned into the norm for many now. 

In fact, a few individuals I know in my area took so many over the years that they are now virtually zombies and the long term effects couldn't be clearer and more visually disturbing. My mother was a GP for many years and usually recommended her patients to try herbal remedies first if she thought that may be a preferential route of treatment for them. She found quite a number felt much better and actually asked specifically for it the next time round. Natural healing techniques are something I advocate strongly given the high success rates I've witnessed. Maybe something like that could act as a pill replacement in certain situations. 

Again, pure class from you, @thecryptofiend.
